Sure, stick tricks aren’t necessary as a drummer, but if you had the chance to use them in a drum solo for fun, why wouldn’t you?
With Marco Minnemann as your guide, here are 6 crazy stick tricks you can pepper into your playing to take the fire up a notch:
1. Combination with stick turn (0:20)
In this trick, you’ll be alternating stick turns with hits on the hi-hat.
The first time through, you’re flipping the right stick (starting with the butt of the stick):
RLL(turn)RLL(turn)RLL(turn)RLRR
Then the next time through, you’re flipping the left stick (also starting with the butt of the stick):
LRR(turn)LRR(turn)LRR(turn)LRLL
Think of it as three groups of three 16th notes, followed by one group of four 16th notes. Try this trick on cymbals, on the sticks themselves, and in any other variations that come to mind.
2. Stick tap paradiddles (2:27)
This trick combines single and double paradiddles. You’ll hit the left stick with your right stick, then finish the first paraddidle as you would normally. Then hit the right stick with your left stick, and finish that second paradiddle.
Using (s) where you hit one stick with the other, it would look like this for the single paradiddles:
(s)LRR (s)RLL
And like this for the double paradiddles:
(s)L(s)LRR (s)R(s)RLL
Combine the single and double paradiddles, get comfortable, get faster, and find your own way to show off this trick. It looks flashier and trickier than it is, but the audience will love it.
3. Stick tap doubles (3:38)
This one is just a simple double stroke combination:
(s)RLL (s)RLL
4. Twirling triplets (4:12)
Play the following triplets while turning the stick back and forth:
RLL RLL RLL RLL RLL
LRR LRR LRR LRR LRR
5. Cross-over combination (4:56)
With three notes on the hands alternating with three on the feet (Marco does it with two hi-hat pedals), this RLR RLR looks awesome as a crossover. Alternate the hands between your ride cymbal and the hi-hat, crossing and uncrossing each time.
6. Another cross-over combination (6:01)
Test your coordination skills with this right hand/left foot/left hand/right foot combination. Check out the video for a demonstration!

I grew up an orchestral trained brass musician...I took on drumline in High school with this background. I was a drummer in metal bands after these years of experience for quite a while. Warching Marco shoot out these rudiments in off times and just act like it's no big deal is a slap in the face. A true master of his craft
He is, Truely.
Mineman is a drum god and a fun guy too - what a neat combo :)
Agreed
His energy is amazing. I can't imagine how fun it must be to play alongside him on stage.
Also, 6:09 I've always wanted to learn that. Since watching his solos in his Extreme Drumming dvd.
"Actually, I didn't know I could do that" lmao you're a bag of surprises my man
this is when a guy reachs the fourth dimension on drums.... Marco, i could watch you all day long...cheers!!!
Did he just greet us with an "oink" ? 😂
Saying oink is the only part of this lesson I can do.
Dude is a legend.
Im litterally laughing out loud :D
@@boblatzer I can also do the parts starting from 7:25
Marco is the coolest dude ever.
After watching previous episodes and now this; Minnemann is awesome, what a good genuine guy. Never really knew him before Drumeo vids, just the name
DrLovejuice pretty sure he auditioned for Dream Theatre. That’s a great series of videos.
He was the drummer for necrophagist if you like tech death metal.
Check out his work with Guthrie Govan in their band The Aristocrats!
Tricks are fun and he sure makes them look easy but for real, what a bad ass this guy is on the kit. Unbelievable the independence and capabilities he has spent years of time to accomplish. From the looks of this he seems like a great guy to hang around with also. \m/
Thank you for adding the bloopers! 😂 Perfect example of when you know something but haven't had to break it down that slowly before.
Marco = Pure Joy!
I love how he constantly says “you know” in between his sentences...
No Marco! I DON’T know! 😂
How would I ever...!?
This guy is incredible!
Was für ein fantastischer Drummer. Unglaublich.
LOL Love the out takes. Marco sure is an AMAZING Drummer.
looks difficult, but it's impossible
Lmmfao!
LOL
Damn Christian Bale is a good actor...he's really gone full method acting here
Guys, you should watch the old Thomas Lang stick tricks. My favorite to this day is the offbeat stick throw, where you play a classic off beat, playing both hands on HH alternating, and after every hit with the reversing motion you throw the stick to make 180° rotation. Easy to do and looks great.
Thanx Budd!
The amaizing Marco MinneSupermann!!!Incredible!!!
Cookie Monster!
Make sure you have the best timing you'll ever achieve, and enough good fills before you start trying to do things to show off because It doesn't help playing.
And unless you're playing live or trying to impress your friends or someone, being a good drummer is more important than showing off. Most people don't actually realize what you're doing anyway and unless they are a drummer and could appreciate it, don't bother with it.
When I was in my teens and twenties I went through that phase and eventually stopped and only concentrated on playing.
Such touch. Such finesse.
Uggghhh! Love the cat shirt, sir!
incredible skills!!!😍😍😍
mann! ..that German knows his stick-tricks
That German Technical Engineering is almost impossible to beat!!!
They developed those tricks 80 years ago in the camps to modify gravity
Just watching is enough for me, its fun
Marco is Jesus behind the drums for real !!
Love the bloopers 😂
Hahahaha oh shit, so easy! Marco is such a joy to watch. This is insane.
Siempre tan sencillo Marko! Comenzaré hoy jijijijiji.
Great for using in the music stores to get their attention.
The very best To MARCO !!!!! GREAT MAN !!!!!
Love this man
Nice that he still has (after so many years in the US) still is German accent. Love the tricks.
This guy is really unreal.
I really don't know what to say & I'm a drummer... awesome!
You sould do more of these kinda videos haha. Loved it! :D
I want that t-shirt! Marco is really an unusual drummer!
Ridiculously good!!
Looks much better than the DT audition.
And amazing drummer and person.
6:31 HIT THE DAMN CYMBAL!!!
Ok i know this is so unrelated but his voice is like the perfect asmr.
Crazy Stick Tricks... not easy stick tricks!! Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just saw him live a week ago and hollllly shit! He is a fucking god. Best drummer of all time in my eyes.
Awesome . Loved it
Man, i feel so inadequate now.
Dont, ALL voices are need, plus its about flowing your colors, expression that creates joy & LettN Your Soul Stretch its legs. Keep gracing this world with... You. 😉
You are inadequate though. This man made you confront reality on it's terms
Awesome…👏
Wow ...very cool ..thanks alot!!!
That intro music was crazy man
Love from india
I luv this guy!!!
The trick at about 5:40 is the drum version of that swinging arm dance the kid on Katy Perry's music video does.
"That is how easy they are" - I'll just have to trust you, my metronome doesn't go to 666bpm.
The first one is just a spida. Check out the video of Scott Johnson if you want the "correct" way which isnt 13 16th notes. But actually 16 16th notes, And there fore a full 4/4 bar
lol for the general audience, this stuff is more useful than some esoteric techniques that nobody would even be able to discern in a live playing situation
100% Theres a Time & Place 4:/ Everything.
Wow!!! Amazing
Love Drumeo!! Been watching this channel for so long!!! Inspired me to learn drums!!!! You guys were my teacher during my self taught period!!! Just amazing you guys!!! I even have a UA-cam channel for my drum cover and other Musical stuff! Show some support by checking it out! And do give a feedback !! Much appreciated!😊
The Master 👍
Smokin!!
I loved it
Awesome
The end of the video is to teach you all that a also Drum God can do wrong things but wasn't not enough to satisfy my envy ahahah
not necessary but damn you can use those hihat-stick paradiddle during grooves
Imagine when margo has this long hair. He'll be the dream theater drummer now
This guy is better in showmanship then Tommy Lee.
The moment you realize he is playing Double-Bass AND Double-Hi-Hat in the last trick🤯
can I use a 1 second clip of the video for a music video I am doing? overhead view of drums...
Fuk Yeah, MadMan Marco is as Badass as he is funny!
So this kind of stuff !
Marco should be the one who teach Yoyoka, i can only dreaming
Hot stuff
6:47 That fill has almost been copyrighted by Harley Davidson, lol!!
Which drumsticks is he using???
Stick magic.
Drum Houdini.
DrumDini?
Nice
a little cheesy but some of them were pretty alright i suppose for a introduction to stick tricks this is ok but it goes much deeper than this and the creativity is up to the person im okay and have been doing it for 2 years almost its hard to practice in winter since hand dexterity is bad in the cold and its most suitable to practice outdoors if you check out different stick trick drummers and superdrummers youll see what i mean by it goes much deeper
Cool!!!
Hey marco!!! Any updates on muhammed???
like the movie drumline
Pls tell me what's ur stick name
eyyyyy so im assuming that the giveaway for that yellow drumset is up? I didn't see any sort of reveal. I wanna know if i can get rid of my notifications XD
They announced it on a livestream a few months back...
@@jordanbaird3808 lmao I guess I knew in my heart all along that it didn't work out
Marco "You Know " You Sound Great Brother "You Know "....
What sticks are he using here
Marco is turning into The Hound
I like his Tshirt
best shirt
Anybody knows the name of the music playing in the titles?
It would be better to use white sticks, by the way... an incredible video!
I love Marco's playing. That said, there are two items I have never appreciated in a performance. One is getting the audience to participate in a sing-along with the group I paid to hear. The other is the stick tricks. I've watched Buddy Rich over 50 years and he blows you away by his command of the instrument alone. No goofy stick tricks needed. Same with Marco here. Great player, stick flips distract from the his performance.
Wow, he’s right - these ARE so easy. Marco will be out of a job by the end of the week. 😉
They are, Go practice.
I’m depressed. Knowing that I’ll never be able to drum like you 😟
Yes, but Nurture the one voice nOne else can master better than... YOU💥💪😉🤘💥
He can never play like you. And he just plays him. So do yourself and mankind the favor of doing your stuff with all the amazing inspiration! : )
Marco is a Monster but... What about Virgil Donati? we want to see Virgil on Drumeo
I gave this a shot. I dropped one stick, the other bounced up and hit me in the eye. 🙁
Lmmfao!
im a guitarist, dont even have a drum kit accessible, why am i watching this
Good god at the size of that tom 😂😂😂😂🤦♂️💀
I knew cyborgs were real
and I cant even do that sticking with my sticks not turning.
"This is how easy they are"
i want that shirt
Very easy and silly he say!
Sound like fancy metronome
